[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 1991817, member: 105459"] [B][COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)]Enuff Said & Thank You for your words!!![/COLOR][/B] Y[I]ears ago I lived in Massachusetts and for the longest time I personally felt that the Savage brand was pretty much the middle of the road, and I myself felt that either Remington (the Big Green) or Winchester were really the only American Made bolt guns that I would consider. I felt this way after my service in the military came to an end and I was once again free to hunt during the appropriate seasons. Not only did I hunt but I hunted hard and held tags in 3 states for years. More often than not I had My trusty Remington 700 BDL in .308 caliber with me, and I was quite content with just using that rifle for deer and bear size animals. For Moose and larger animals, a dozen years later I purchased another Remington a 742 semi-auto in 30-06 caliber. Between the two rifles, I thought I was the cat's butt. 23 years ago I moved here to Florida and was looking for a rifle to outfit my wife, and during one of our weekly range outings, I saw a gentleman who was shooting a Savage Axis in 270 Caliber. It was one of those guns sold as a package deal along with a cheap scope. Well imagine my surprise when that gentleman with the Savage Axis and not so great scope was consistently shooting MOA groups @ 100 yards It literally blew my cork! He was kind enough to let my wife try his rifle and she immediately fell in love with it. So a few days later I started looking at Savage rifles and found a sweet deal on a Savage 110 in .270 caliber. I bought it along with a Nikon Prostaff 4.0 x 12.0 X 40mm glass and the correct rings and bases and set it up for her. Well to make a long story very short That I Savage rifle is an ornery little devil and before too long it just kept having babies and my safe has now grown to hold 12 Savage rifles among others. (OBTW I have had a few hiccups with these rifles now and again but they were all very easy fixes and none required the services of a GunSmith)) [B][COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]The moral of this long-winded story is that just because years ago you experienced issues and that soured you on this brand, it certainly bears another look. [/COLOR][/B] In closing, I can assure you that today's Savage rifles are a far cry from those that were built even a dozen years ago. So best of luck in your choice of a rifle for your younger brother![/I] [/QUOTE]
